Reciprocity and alignment: quantifying coupling in dynamic interactions
Open accessAbstract
we do things together, suggesting that becoming aligned relies on a reciprocal exchange of information. The next step is to develop richer computational methods that quantify the degree of coupling and describe the nature of the information exchange. We put forward a definition of coupling, comparing it to related terminology and detail, available computational methods and the level of organization to which they pertain, presenting them as a hierarchy from weakest to richest forms of coupling. The rationale is that a temporally coherent link between two dynamical systems at the lowest level of organization sustains mutual adaptation and alignment at the highest level. Postulating that when we do things together, we do so dynamically over time and we argue that to determine and measure instances of true reciprocity in social exchanges is key. Along with this computationally rich definition of coupling, we present challenges for the field to be tackled by a diverse community working towards a dynamic account of social cognition.

Leader-follower nonverbal tasks are characterized by an asymmetric distribution of information between co-actors, where the leader has access to task instructions, while the follower must rely on the leader's actions to achieve the shared goal.
“Leader–follower nonverbal tasks are characterized by an asymmetric distribution of information between co‐actors, where the leader has access to task instructions, while the follower must rely on the leader's actions to achieve the shared goal (Konvalinka et al. 2014; Candidi et al. 2015; Dumas and Fairhurst 2021; Gallotti et al. 2017).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
